For The HERALD,

AS your correspondent from this
place seems to be somewhat dilatory
in writing the news, whether from
effort matrimonial, he has become eX-
hausted, l do not know; so will en-
deavor to briefly state the transporting
events, which / hope will interest
some of the many readers of THE
HERALD in this neighborhood.
The recent thawing weather has
caused the snow and ice to disappear
in some places, especially in the pub
lie highways, consequently the sleighs
have been abandoned for the present,
the roads presenting rough surface
which makes disagreeable travelling.
Business has been very dull in our
city since the 1st of JAN, owing most
ly to the partial failure of crops and
low price of grain, during the past
season though the most of our citi-
pecially the Republican politicians,
who are anXiously specializing on the
bright future which await them in the
fall of 'S5, which l feel assured is not
in vain.
The Bedington Literary Society
still convenes weekly, and has proven
interesting and profitable to all who
have taken part; as no report has been
handed me | am unable to give the
proceedings.
Our singing class is progressing
rapidly under the instructions of Prof.
Snyder and in a short time we hope
to pride ourselves on having choir
that can compete with any of our
neighboring villages.
We are sorry to announce the Ill
ness of Miss Nettie Merchent, who
has a severe attack of rheumatism.
Mr.. E. E. Mayhem is also very i'll.
Mrs. Jas. Kline, who has been sick
for several weeks, is now improving.
We are informed of the departure
of our young friend, Mr.. G. E. Poole,
from near Greensburg,) on Monday

We learn that Mr.. Samuel Chaplain

kelley Station, what he believes to be
an extensive vein of coal. He with
the assistance of several others have
been investigating the extent of the
vein. With what results | have not

BEDINGToN NEWS.

Mr.. e. E. Mayhem is lying i'll at his
residence. We regret to announce the
illness of Miss Mary Riner, who
latest intelligence informs us is on the
road to convalesecnce.
The many friends of Miss Nettie
Merchent will learn with regret and
sympathy that she is still victim to
that painful affliction "Acute Rheu-
matism." She has now been suffer-
er for four weeks. It is hoped she
may recover soon.
Miss Minnie Martin of Frederick,
Nd, and Miss Mollie Bell of yonr
town are the guests of Miss Annie
Howard.
The Singing School and Lyceum are
progressing finely and continue to at
tract large crowds. Owing to the in
clement weather there was no meet
ing. The subject for discussion at the
next meeting, Does prohibition pro-
hibit ?n will be championed by E. E.
Snyder on the affirmative and J. V.
Quinn for negative.

Where They were Born.

Some time after the war Gen. Crit
tenden met three ex-confedera ate Off
GERS at dinner, and they became very
friendly.
"Major," said Gen. Crittenden to
one OF them, where were you born?"
WELL" said the major, getting a
little red, ~ was born, sir, in Nan.
,ucket, Mass, but you see l lived ten
years in the South and / married a
southern lady, and, as all my inter
ests were in the South, of course
fought for them"
"And where were you born?" he
asked the second.
"Well, sir, I was born in Nantucket,
Mass, but I'd lived in the South
twenty years, and OF course"
ri see," said the general, turning to
the third; colonel, where were you
born?"
II was born in Nantucket, Mass,
too, but I'd been thirty years in the
South, and"
"That's curious, isn't it?"
s'Tell me, general" said one OF them,
"where were you born?"
"Well, l was born in Huntwell, Ala,
but 1 lived IN the North for many
years, and l fought for the Union"
Then they all drank around.

The surgeon objected to the word
